Section banning for specific members

Alright, so let's say I want to keep a certain member from posting in a certain section (i.e the music section). I know that I could make this whole elaborate set up by making a ton of groups specific to each section, but I'm not really willing to do this unless I absolutely have to. I want an easier way to ban just one person from posting in a specific section. Is this possible?

i think you can only remove the view the permission of the user but when it comes in banning all sections plus the forum will not be able the user to see ...

How do I do that? The Option doesn't show on the user's permission area.

Well here is tip go to your ACP >> Users & Groups >> Group administration >> create a group for an example banned then hidden group >> then save ! >> after that add the member you want to hide >> then go to general >> Categories and forums >> then click the permission then you can choose there to hide hope this trick help ...

I'm not seeing hide here. If I select members, it selects every group.

You can not ban individual members. It has to be a group.

ACP>>USER & GROUPS>> SEARCH USER>> Modify the user's permission And take out their permission to post & reply to a the specific area you want.

That doesn't work. That was the first thing I tried.

Then it's as I thought. Thanks.

Hi!

As slg said, you cannot 'restrict' certain members form accessing a forum, but you can restrict groups: https://help.forumotion.com/t38399-restricted-forums

Is this solved?
